Chapter 1818 The so-called treasure is disappointing
Seeing that the battlefield at Suga's house has fallen into chaos, the coalition forces are attacking from both front and back. If we don't save it, we won't be able to save it.
Fang Jun made a decisive decision and waved his hand: "The whole army will pursue and kill the coalition forces!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of footsteps behind him, and someone shouted: "Master Marquis, I found it! I found it!"
Fang Jun suddenly became energetic!
Mother!
Is there really a treasure?
He immediately changed his mind and ordered: "The front army attacks to rescue our army, and the rear army and archers gather to wait for the treasure to be transported!"
"Here!"
Immediately the army was divided into two. The soldiers on the wall jumped down with their horizontal knives and stepped on the corpses of the coalition troops to pursue them. They joined forces with Wang Xuance's troops and went to rescue Su's troops, archers and another group. The army assembled inside the palace.
Fang Jun strode forward and followed the soldiers to a cave found under the rockery of Yuanchi in the south of Bangai Palace.
This was what the soldiers asked when they were interrogating an old palace worker. At first, the old worker was very stubborn and didn't know what to ask. After the impatient soldiers chopped off five of his fingers, he gave up...
Fang Jun was very satisfied with these methods of torture to extract confessions. Japanese people are all cheap. The more cruel and callous you are to them, the more they will obey you. On the other hand, if you talk about benevolence, justice and morality, they will eventually bite you.
According to the old palace man, this place was a secret storehouse left behind when the Itagai Palace was first built, and it had always been the place where the emperor collected treasures.
Needless to say, this must be the emperor's treasure!
The navy soldiers were inexplicably excited. As the lord of Japan, Emperor Kogi naturally had a lot of treasures and treasures in her secret treasury. This time she was going to make a big fortune! My Marquis has always been wealthy, so he will definitely use part of this wealth to reward everyone...
When Fang Jun arrived, soldiers used iron bars to pry open a stone door at the bottom of the rockery, revealing a dark hole with stone steps leading straight into it. The light was too dark and the end could not be seen.
At that moment, some soldiers found torches and went down to the secret storehouse first. After a search, no hidden weapon mechanism was found. Fang Jun then followed closely and entered the secret storehouse.
This secret library is built under the rockery. Not far from it is Yuanchi, which is the royal garden of the palace. However, the design is also clever. Several vents are arranged very secretly. There is no feeling of moisture inside. The walls are all made of It is made of large pieces of bluestone and is very dry to the touch.
There is a long corridor, the ground is paved with blue bricks and is very smooth. At the end is a large space. Where the torch shines, you can see boxes of large and small piled up in most of the space. The soldiers who followed in They suddenly cheered!
There are so many boxes piled up like a mountain. This is a huge fortune!
Fang Jun was also very excited. No matter how much money he made, how could he enjoy the pleasure of grabbing money?
He immediately said: "Open it and take a look!"
Then some soldiers rushed up, turned over the blade of the horizontal knife, and hit the copper lock hard with the back of the knife. The copper lock shattered, then opened the cover and took a look. He didn't say anything, and his eyes were straight...
Fang Jun stepped forward and kicked him, and cursed: "You're a worthless coward, you haven't seen the treasure yet? You're so embarrassed!"
Then I stretched my neck and took a look, holy shit...
"Hurry up, let me pry them open and take a look!"
"Here!"
A group of soldiers smashed the copper locks with bangs and bangs and inspected the boxes one by one.
A quarter of an hour later, everyone, including Fang Jun, was dumbfounded. They stood blankly in the secret warehouse, looking at the lopsided boxes in front of them. One or two of them were speechless...
"What the hell! Isn't the Emperor of Japan too poor?"
"Who says it's not true? In such a big secret treasury, at least you have some gold, pearls, and so on, this, this, this..."
The soldiers were all chattering, and Fang Jun was so angry that he stepped forward and kicked over a stack of boxes. There was a loud crash, and pottery, porcelain, and even glass cups were broken all over the floor...
Mother!
Fang Jun almost laughed out of anger!
There are so many boxes that contain either pottery, porcelain, glassware, or silk and satin. Only the boxes in the corners contain brilliant gold, but I estimate it only weighs one or two hundred kilograms...
It’s not that the emperor is too poor, it’s that the customs of the Japanese and Tang countries are different.
The porcelain craftsmanship before the Sui Dynasty was not good. The color of the glaze was often deviated due to the influence of minerals, and the appearance was ugly. In recent years, the white porcelain produced in Xing Kiln and other places was better. But this thing, which was not very valuable in the Tang Dynasty, was extremely valuable in the Japanese country.
As for silk and satin...it can indeed be used as currency these days, but the question is, should these things that came across the ocean from the Tang Dynasty be brought back across the ocean?
Not to mention how much these things are worth, the mighty "God of Wealth" of the Tang Dynasty cannot afford to lose this person...
The mining technology of the Japanese country was extremely backward, and most of the technology was brought by "migrants". Compared with the ever-changing technological innovations of the Tang Dynasty, it was not even a little bit behind the rapid technological innovation of the Tang Dynasty. Even if the Japanese country was full of gold mines, as the emperor, he could only work in secret There is so much gold hidden in the vault.
Fang Jun sighed and waved his hand: "Take the gold, put it on a good silk belt, and burn the rest!"
What a bad luck!
Is this the treasure house of the leader of a country?
If one day His Majesty Li Er had his house confiscated on a whim, it would be dozens of times more than the wealth in this secret vault...
So poor!
I was excited when I came, but dejected when I went back.
Not only Fang Jun, but also the soldiers all looked listless and unhappy. They were planning to steal the emperor's treasure house and make a fortune, but who knew he was actually a poor man...
After leaving the secret warehouse and returning to the Daichi Palace, Fang Jun looked at the chaotic battlefield in the distance and lost interest. He ordered: "Quickly annihilate these coalition forces. Let's retreat back to Nambazu!"
"Here!"
When the military order was issued, the navy soldiers who had been feeling uncomfortable for a long time became energetic.
On the battlefield, don't say anything like "when you meet your opponent in chess, you will meet your talent." No one will feel excited when both sides are evenly matched, because that will inevitably mean huge casualties and losses for both sides.
The battle just now has made the navy soldiers realize the fighting power of the Japanese. This kind of "torture" situation is what everyone likes to see...
The Tang army regrouped, with shield bearers in front, heavy infantry following closely behind, archers and crossbowmen behind them, the array was rigorous and orderly, and slowly pressed towards the coalition forces who were fighting with Su's family. Two thousand people were in darkness. It's like Mount Tai pressing down on the top, powerful and powerful.
When the bows and arrows were within range, hundreds of archers fired their bows and arrows in two rounds, harvesting a wave of human heads. Then the crossbowmen fired flatly, as powerful as locusts, and the dead fell to the ground. Finally, the heavy infantry came from behind the shield bearers. Break out and rush into the enemy formation like a tiger rushing into a flock of sheep...
The coalition forces tried to prevent the Tang army from entering their own positions and rushed forward to fight. However, the wall-like forest of swords of the Tang army slowly pushed forward. During their movements, the swords were as bright as frost with murderous intent. The sharp blades easily broke through the enemy's weapon. The leather armor cut into the body, the skin and flesh were torn, the muscles and bones were broken, and the residual limbs and arms were broken and blood and flesh flew everywhere!
The entire array moved forward like a moving killing machine. All enemies standing in front of it were crushed to pieces by the fierce horizontal sword!
The coalition forces, which have been fighting each other like "green chickens pecking each other" with various feudal states in the land of Japan, have never seen such an army that can kill like a mountain.
First, they launched a charge to try to stop the Tang army, but more than a hundred people were like eggs that hit a stone and were shattered into pieces in five steps. The fear of being invincible quickly spread among the coalition forces. When the Tang army entered the chaotic battlefield with unstoppable force, they finally got there. Unable to withstand this fear, the coalition soldiers shouted, threw away the crude weapons in their hands, and fled for their lives wearing straw sandals or bare feet.
In an instant, the coalition forces that had the upper hand in the face of the Suga family collapsed...
On the battlefield, it is natural not to run away just when you want. The shield-carrying swordsmen cover the crossbowmen and chase them one after another. If they are farther away, they will shoot with their crossbows. If they are closer, they will slash with their swords. The soldiers of Suga family have calmed down. , also cooperated with the Tang army in pursuit under the leadership of Suga Mingtai.
The dead soldiers of our Su family had been beaten for many days. Brothers and sisters were killed and wounded without reckoning, and they had already been simmering with anger. Now the enemy troops collapsed and fled, and naturally their morale was boosted like chicken blood. Crazy pursuit.
The coalition forces also knew that such a desperate run would inevitably result in being annihilated one after another. They also tried to organize the dead soldiers to hold off the pursuers for a while. However, as soon as they stopped, they were hit by a burst of crossbows from the Tang army that followed them before they could organize their formation. The shooting distance made him cry for his father and mother and he fell down. How can you still think of fighting back in the end? No matter the generals or soldiers, there is only one thought in their heads: run away!
From the front line of Ganqiaoqiu to Tianxiangjiu Mountain, less than ten miles away, more than ten thousand coalition troops were hunted down and killed...
In this battle, not only did the vast majority of the more than 20,000 coalition forces lose their lives, but Su's family was also severely damaged. This situation was exactly what Fang Jun liked to see. Seeing the collapse of the coalition forces, he immediately commanded the remaining 1,000 soldiers to move their weapons and equipment. With the gold box in hand, they neatly withdrew from the Pangai Palace and returned to the camp east of Amanashigaoka. When all the pursuing troops returned, the entire army returned to Namba Tsu.
The layout of the Japanese country is far from over. He will wait there for the arrival of the Ezo people... (End of this chapter)
